Can anyone let me know why my date is not getting and setting?

public class TaskController {

...
    public Task objTask {
        get
        { 
           if(objTask == null) objTask = new Task();
           return objTask;
        }
        
        set;
    }

...
}


    <apex:form >
        <apex:sectionHeader title="Change Due Date Section" />
        <h1>Enter new Due Date: </h1>
        <apex:inputField value="{!objTask.ActivityDate}"/>
    </apex:form>

 When I run a debug, the objTask.ActivityDate is always returning null no matter what value I put in the Date Picker field.

 

Any ideas why the values is not being returned properly to the custom controller?

 

Thanks.

You need to add a command button to call some method in order for the value to be set. Simply entering a valu in the inut box does not set it.

 

See my post here if you have trouble with the command button:

Awesome!!!

 

I used your doNothing method and then added the actionSupport

 

    <apex:form >
        <apex:sectionHeader title="Change Due Date Section" />
        <h1>Enter new Due Date: </h1>
        <apex:inputField value="{!objTask.ActivityDate}">
            <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" action="{!doNothing}" />
        </apex:inputField>
    </apex:form>

 

And it works now.

 

Thanks again for the help.
